May: Hey, This is your order.

Customer: Are you new here? I come to this coffeehouse often. But I didn't see you here before.

May: Yes. I started this part-time job just three days ago. And my internship 1 will last 1 week. I'm still a student now.

Customer: Do you mind if I ask you why you've taken the part-time job here?

May: Of course not. You know, there are many foreign customers like you here. And I think it's good for me to improve my oral English.

Customer: Oh, are you an English student? Or you just study English for interest's sake?

May: No, I'm not an English student. But I do like English. I'm going to be a volunteer in the 2008 Olympics where I want to be helpful with the language. So I try to improve my English.

Customer: Very nice. Thank you for your time.

(He hands May some tips.)

May: Thank you, sir. But I'm not allowed to accept any tips.)

Customer: OK then. I don't want to put you in trouble.

May: Well, would you like something else? The new-made café parfait is really good. Want some?

Customer: OK. But I'd like some cookies.

May: Sure. If you want more coffee, please go over there. There is self-help coffee maker 2.

Customer: I surely know that. Don't forget that I am a regular customer here.

May: Oops. Well, wait for a while. We'll get it done quickly.

Customer: It's OK. Thank you.

阿美: 嗨。这就是您点的东西。

顾客: 你是这里新来的吗？我经常到这家咖啡厅来。但是我以前都没有在这里见过你。

阿美: 是的。我是三天前开始在这里兼职的。我的实习期会持续一个礼拜。我现在还是个学生呢？

顾客: 你介意我问你为什么到这里来兼职吗？

阿美: 当然不介意了。你知道，这里有很多像您这样的外国客人。而我想这有利于提高我的英语口语。

顾客: 哦，你是学英语的学生吗？还是你学英语只是出于兴趣？

阿美: 不，我不是学英语的学生。但是我很喜欢英语。我要成为2008年的奥运志愿者，到时候我可以提供语言帮助。所以我要提高我的英语水平。

顾客: 真不错。谢谢你。

（他递给阿美一些小费。）

阿美: 谢谢您，先生。但是公司规定我们不可以接受任何小费。

顾客: 那好吧。我可不想给你带来麻烦。

阿美: 对了，您还想要点别的吗？新做的冻糕很不错的。要来一点吗？

顾客: 好的。但我想要点曲奇饼干。

阿美: 好的。如果要更多的咖啡，请过去那边。那里有自助的咖啡机。

顾客: 这个我当然知道啦。别忘了我可是这里的常客啊。

阿美: 哦。那么，请稍等。您要的马上就好。

顾客: 没关系。谢谢你。
